It has been nearly 18 months since Hamas attacked Israel and killed 1,200 civilians, including Americans. Rather than rebel against the pointless hatred of Jews, many schools have since, and have allowed anti-Semitism to ramp out across America with one horrifying act.
If administrators fail to curb bad actors in schools, the Trump administration is stepping up and acting quickly to hold those in power accountable. Within the first two weeks in the office, President Donald Trump signature An executive order to combat national anti-Semitism. It turns out he hadn’t bluffed.
Students for several months in 2024 Formation Anti-Israel camp at Columbia University and they took over the campus buildings I was trapped and assault Custodian. These students barricaded doors, destroyed windows, and demanded that the university sell it from Israel. One student It has been declared In the video, “Zionists Don’t Deserve to Live.”
Colombia has no control over the situation, and students from other universities have noticed. Similar camps and protests continued on campuses across the country. An incident occurred Yale, Harvard, Rutgersand many other universities. There is Report Some Jewish students even assaulted them on campus last year. Hillel International It has been reported Anti-Semitism incidents at universities have increased by 700% since October 7, 2023.
If the previous administration has not taken appropriate action against these universities in the past four years, Trump has used federal authority to enact positive changes to ensure students are safe.
Earlier this month, Trump took Columbia University, $400 million in federal funds last year for not defending Jewish students. Trump administration Requested Colombia enforces disciplinary policies, prohibits masks as a form of concealment or intimidation, creates definitions of anti-Semitism, and places the departments of Middle East, South Asia and Africa under academic reception.

The university fell into the president’s demands just a few weeks later, ensuring it would strengthen its Jewish students.
There are more in the Education Department (ED) Release A survey of 60 universities on anti-Semitism activities on campus. Ed sent letters to each of these universities requesting that they protect Jewish students on campus, including uninterrupted access to campus facilities and educational opportunities.
The Trump administration is proactive in dealing with anti-Semitism, but the source of the problem cannot be ignored. Most of the universities ED is investigating did so, if not all, in the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) (DEI) section, or at least before last year’s presidential election.
Dei creates a breeding ground for anti-Semitism activities. Heritage Foundation Published A 2021 report that discovered university DEI staff usually represents anti-Israel attitudes. The think tank studied social media feeds of 741 DEI staff from 65 universities. Of their posts about Israel, 96% were negative.
Dei Orthodox generally embraces the idea that the United States and other Western countries were created based on the evils of colonialism. “The real problem on campus is not anti-Semitism, but the anti-Western spirit that colonized the large-scale Swass of the curriculum,” says Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute. I explained it. She added that Israel is “shalted as excellence as Western settlers-colonialist oppressors.”
The Trump administration seems to understand this. Trump signed Executive order Schools could remove DEIs from their curriculum, employment and admission processes, or lose federal funds. He follows on the threat.
Ed has Release investigation This month, he has participated in over 50 universities, using “racial preferences and stereotypes in educational programs and activities,” and is said to be governed by programs that separate students based on race.” After that, government Pause Federal funding to the University of Pennsylvania is $175 million, allowing men to compete in women’s sports.
Trump and his administration are thankfully serious about eliminating anti-Semitism from its sources from our country’s education system. Jewish students are entitled to attend American universities without fear of physical safety. Prejudice is not in any school.
If schools continue to promote DEIs or allow anti-Semitism, they should justly lose federal funds.
